Arnold Schwarzenegger
Name : Arnold Schwarzenegger
Real Name : Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger
Nickname : Styrian Oak
Height : 6' 2" (187 cm)
Date of Birth : 30 July 1947

Biography:
 
While his police-chief father wanted him to become a soccer player, Austrian-born actor Arnold Schwarzenegger chose a bodybuilding career instead. He went on to win several European contests and international titles, including Mr. Olympia, and then came to the United States for body-building exhibitions. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Business and Economics, he invested his contest earnings in real estate and a mail-order bodybuilding equipment company.

A millionaire before the age of 22, Schwarzenegger decided to try acting. He made his film debut in Hercules in New York (1970). With Conan the Barbarian (1982) and its sequel, Conan the Destroyer (1984), Schwarzenegger established himself as an action star. As the murderous android title character in The Terminator (1984), he became a bona fide box-office draw, and also established his trademark phrases in his films: "I'll be back" in Terminator, or "Consider this a divorce" in Total Recall (1990).

When he starred as Danny De Vito's unlikely pacifistic sibling in Twins (1988), Schwarzenegger received the praise of critics who noted his unsuspected comic expertise.

Schwarzenegger's most notable new role is political. He replaced Gray Davis as Governor of California in the widely lauded, highly controversial recall election of 2003.
